But one of you seems to have got a bit carried away wearing rear tyres down in that car park, or was it a joint effort? :lol:

No mention of our brilliant brekkie
Great empty roads with the exception of a surprised camper driver, made for some ‘spirited’ driving across the Mendips into the gorge at Cheddar, then across the moors via Wedmore coming home.

You'd need to be a Soay sheep, to find a suitable quite spot. :wink:

To be honest, I always thought they were goats until I just did a little reading up. :D
